Katharine Greider, author of The Big Fix, looks into the world of pharmaceuticals. In its heyday, Harlem’s legendary Rucker Tournament was probably the only place in the world where you would find basketball pros such as Julius Erving and Wilt Chamberlain playing against neighborhood superstars. Vincent Mallozzi joins one the playground superstars, Pee Wee Kirkland to look back on Rucker’s golden age. Then, Lynn Redgrave and Daniel David discuss their roles in Alan Bennett’s hit play, Talking Heads. And French filmmaker Francois Ozon discusses his latest Lolita-esque film, "Swimming Pool".
